Skill instructions
Scope - Run BioEmu locally on a CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPU to sample protein conformational ensembles from amino acid sequence. - Two supported entry points: 1. CLI — pip install bioemu[cuda] and python -m bioemu.sample directly from the upstream package. 2. Reference app — the React + Flask app in assets/reference-app/. Run its bundled score/ Flask server locally on :5001, point the proxy backend at it via .env, and use the React frontend for visualization. - Analyze trajectories with MDTraj (RMSD, RMSF, Rg, secondary structure) and visualize with Molstar in the reference app. Prerequisites - Linux (or WSL2 on Windows 11 with NVIDIA GPU passthrough — install WSL per Microsoft's guide and follow NVIDIA's CUDA-on-WSL guide for driver setup) with a CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPU. CPU works only for ~10-residue toy sequences; everything else is unusably slow. - Python 3.10+, ~5 GB free disk for cached weights (AlphaFold2 weights ~3.5 GB + BioEmu checkpoint + working space) at ~/.cache/colabfold/ (C
